Would Keep Ogre but wont happen dont think

Agree, Lynch is fantastic and Watts really looks the part. But surely we need one prop with size/raw power/intimidating presence. Why sign Galea but release O'Meley, unless Galea is literally half the price.

As for Seymour, don't think it will be as easy to "move him on" as many people seem to just assume. His wages are apparently so high that no one else is likely to go near them. Maybe AP could pay him off, but AP clearly has his limits on "fair value" (and quite right too, it is his money), and he might not want to have to pay Seymour over £100k (for example) just to release him, and that on top of a sizeable transfer fee for his replacement.

Same, has looked good since he returned from injury.

Gentles obviously spending more money in more important areas.

Props a basic position and we need to make sure we have the right players at 1, 6, 7 and 9.

Ogre, Lynch, Watts and Taylor would be ideal for next season.

Watts isn't as powerful as I first thought.
Still do a good job for us.

Also think Ogre will be away, sadly.

Hes a runner with a top off load, i wouldn't swap him for any one.

Great off-load, agreed.

Yep, play him at 13 with two powerful, hard-working props would be the best tactic IMO.

Playing him as a prop with a ball player-type 13, then you're asking a lot of your other prop.

Bring it on I say.

This is my biggest 'gripe' if you like about the possible Galea deal. Unless we can't afford O Meley I would retain him and forget Galea. O Meley is still easily one of the best props in SL

Watts has really impressed me, he's such a big unit that he is always looking to give the offload out the top of the tackle.

Maybe galea is being signed to play 6?

I have got all my fingers and toes and a couple of other things crossed
that we do not sign Galea, another 2nd rower, we just dont need, plus
for christ sake, another dobbin, we all might just as well go to caravan park
is it because he friendly with PG. hes allmost as old as grass.

we have made o,meley an offer but wakey have made him a bigger one

I have to say that the recruitment is nowhere near as completed as I expected it to be by now. Seems some of our plans haven't worked out and we're still running around trying to fill the gaps in the squad
